Hi, I’m just wondering what/if others have had experiences going to the cinema to watch movies as an autistic adult? What sensory stuff do you put in place to be able to handle it? I’m desperate to go and see the new spider man movie, however I haven’t been to a cinema since I was a toddler (plus I have agoraphobia) and they don’t seem to be doing autism friendly screenings for this. So I was just curious if it was do able and if so what I should try and do. Thanks
When I go to cinemas, I usually wear noise cancelling earphones. Because the cinema is so loud, I can still hear the movie, but it’s more bearable.
I was thinking that or maybe earplugs? I have those loop earplugs which dull things down yet you can still hear. Is it overwhelming with how big the screen is?
